CAPE

75/64 It be humid.

It went down easy and fast. Very good. 3 more to go, lol. Not tonight. I will buy this again.

I really dig the cinnamon notes in this. Works well with a choco stout imo. Reminds me of one I was getting a few months back- the name escapes me atm.

Yeah I simply wont bother with a stout that is under 8% generally. Its gotta be BIG- high abv and roasty/malty. Not at all a milk stout fan, other than the rare imperial ones.

Picked up a 4 pack of this today. Just poured one. Tasty. Alcohol is well hidden. Or maybe I have just been drinking too many WWS lately lol.

There is something fundamentally wrong with putting orange in a stout. NTY.

The tornado is literally sucking the photosynthesis products off the leaves.

Looks to me like there is abundant low level moisture- probably rained preceding the tornado. You can see indications of moisture condensing/rising in places above the trees well ahead of the actual funnel. Once the vortex gets closer, the suction induces stronger rising motions on the periphery, and the air quickly cools/further condenses as it is near saturation.

Looks warm and humid for the first part of the week. With a trough to the west and a ridge overhead, Tuesday will probably feel like July, with temps pushing 90 in the usual warmer spots.

56 this morning. Today will be much different than yesterday. Probably 80 or so.

Late week looks like a well offshore fish storm on the latest op runs and ensembles. Best chance of some decent rain will be mid week with the cold front. If that fails it may be time to get the sprinklers out.

How's the May snow lookin? Outside of maybe Canaan, and even there it usually isn't a big deal, odds of May snowfall is pretty much a zero for everywhere in the MA. I don't think the faux hand wringing over random silly op GFS runs is really necessary tbh, lol.

We really need another bomb cyclone sometime soon. Hopefully such a thing is still possible.

Just cracked open a DFH BBA WWS, after being outside doing yard work on this very pleasant day. Those who think it was "too cold/too windy" will be begging for a day like this 6 weeks from now.

Someone should start a thread. Not sure why exactly, but this has been posted in 3 different threads this morning.

This is the third thread I have seen reference to this, this morning lol. And this here thread is now obsolete.

^ A big coastal storm makes some sense I guess, as the blocking over Greenland is breaking down at that time. Archambault!

If the sun angle never got any higher than it is now, I might get my grass to actually survive here lol. As it is, I am at the beginning of peak lawn, which will last about 5 weeks before the wilting to thatch/burning to hell period begins.

Plenty of shredded leaves and small tree debris all over the place, but not seeing anything major. The strongest winds here occurred overnight. Winds have died down significantly this morning. Currently 45 and breezy. Looks like a pretty nice day for yardwork. Mid/upper 60s and super low dews.

Looks like the HL blocking(-NAO) will hang on for another week, then break down. Not that it means a whole lot this time of year- it can still get pretty warm with a block. The anomalous vorticity lobe rotating down and inducing this wind event is related to that h5 pattern though. With the pattern change, there will likely be less of the coolish (pleasant) days with NW breezes, and more frequent bouts of warmth and humidity by mid month. Ofc it largely depends on the location and strength/persistence of the upper ridging going forward.

Hearing some thunder. This should be the leading edge of the stronger winds. Latest from Mount Holly- A strong perturbation, now evident on moisture- channel imagery over the Great Lakes region, was sampled at 500 mb in the Upper Midwest with an attendant 90+ kt jet streak surging southeastward. The 500-mb temperatures were quite cold for this time of year near the center of the low, with readings near or below -30C in northern Michigan into central Ontario. Intense 850-mb cold advection was occurring in the Great Lakes region and is racing southeastward into the Appalachians this afternoon. A band of showers in advance of the aforementioned perturbation had developed in the central Appalachians and will likely move through portions of the area late this afternoon and early this evening, especially for the southern half of the CWA. Nudged PoPs upward just a little bit more, based on upstream radar trends. With 40-50 kt winds at the top of the mixed layer, would expect strong to locally damaging wind gusts in proximity to these showers. Synoptic-scale winds will then surge for a time after the stronger cold advection sweeps across the area this evening, collocated with intense surface- pressure rises behind the reinforcing front late this afternoon. Models have trended slightly lower with gusts this afternoon/evening, but they also have verified on the low side so far today. As a result, continued to forecast winds higher than guidance, with the peak timing generally 21z to 03z with a diminishing trend thereafter as the surface pressure rises gradually lessen. All of this said, the high wind warning was unchanged with this update, with numerous impacts expected across the region.

At least as it stands now, he would be paid pretty well in 2022.

Ravens picks were solid. Filled 2 needs. Love the potential of Oweh. Amazing athlete with elite speed and ideal size to come off the edge. They likely will still sign a veteran edge rusher and a RT after the draft. They will probably target secondary help and OL with their third round picks tonight.

Wind is ramping up here.
